Running scripts from home
I have created a Bourne shell script that helps with metric counting and it has to be run in a ClearCase view. It has been placed in a directory where if User A cd'd to it and runs it, a bunch of errors occur. Because this is a tool that several users would want access to and the program assumes that it is being run from User A's home directory, I have a couple of questions:
a) is there a way to create a script where User A can run the script from their home directory and have the results stored in their home directory?
b) what other solutions would be easier to accomplish this task.
Any help is appreciated. Thanks.

Hi,
does somebody know, how i can get the full path of my home-directory in a shell-script? But not with the $home-variable or ~ (i don't know for sure, but i think this does not work in every shell...).
Thank You!

I need to run a script (from cron) that runs a second script.
What worries me is that second script, when run from bash, upon finishing doesn't return to bash unless I press the 'Enter' key.
I presume that's because last command in that script ends with &
Could that be a problem for cron?... (2 Replies)

service
service(8) System Manager's Manual service(8)
NAME
service - run a System V init script
SYNOPSIS
service SCRIPT COMMAND [OPTIONS]
service --status-all
service --help | -h | --version
DESCRIPTION
service runs a System V init script in as predictable an environment as possible, removing most environment variables and with the current
working directory set to /.
The SCRIPT parameter specifies a System V init script, located in /etc/init.d/SCRIPT. The supported values of COMMAND depend on the
invoked script. service passes COMMAND and OPTIONS to the init script unmodified. All scripts should support at least the start and stop
commands. As a special case, if COMMAND is --full-restart, the script is run twice, first with the stop command, then with the start com-
mand.
service --status-all runs all init scripts, in alphabetical order, with the status command.
EXIT CODES
service calls the init script and returns the status returned by it.
FILES
/etc/init.d
The directory containing System V init scripts.
ENVIRONMENT
LANG, TERM
The only environment variables passed to the init scripts.
SEE ALSO
/etc/init.d/skeleton,
update-rc.d(8),
init(8),
invoke-rc.d(8).
